Family Flame in Burkina Faso

[Intro] A heartbeat in the rhythm of our homeland, Burkina Faso, Burkina Faso [Verse 1] Mama, your hands taught me to dream in daylight and to sing in the night Bread on the table, stories around the flame, you made every moment bright Across the savannahs, I hear your voice in the wind and dance in the dust Love is a drum that keeps us beating, in your arms I find a trust [Pre-Chorus] Memories like mbira notes, merry and warm, they guide my way From Ouagadougou streets to village paths, I carry you every day [Chorus] Thank you, Mama, for the love you give so freely Bon frère, bon sœur, family binds us deeply In Burkina’s sun, our hearts keep time with joy so grand We honor our homeland, hand in hand [Verse 2] We laugh with cousins under mango shade, stories flowing with the breeze Your smiles are home in every season, a harbor bringing us at ease Neighbors clap to the rhythm of our voices, laughter echoing through the square In every hug, I feel the country’s heartbeat and the warmth you share [Pre-Chorus] Memories like mbira notes, merry and warm, they guide my way From Ouaga nights to village dawns, I carry you every day [Chorus] Thank you, Mama, for the love you give so freely Bon frère, bon sœur, family binds us deeply In Burkina’s sun, our hearts keep time with joy so grand We honor our homeland, hand in hand [Bridge] We dance between fences of red earth and blue skies above, intertwined Our roots running strong, our songs a promise we’ll never leave behind [Chorus] Thank you, Mama, for the love you give so freely Bon frère, bon sœur, family binds us deeply In Burkina’s sun, our hearts keep time with joy so grand We honor our homeland, hand in hand [Outro] Forever grateful, forever near, our family flame will glow With you, Burkina Faso, and all the memories we grow
